Chapter 176: Ghost Appearance
Three days ago, Chen Yun asked Gongsun Luyi why Taiyi Jianyuan didn't continue to investigate after the disciple named Murong Han of Taiyi Jianyuan was attacked and killed more than a month ago.
After being silent for a while, Gongsun Luyi said to Chen Yun and the others with a rare stern expression, the head of Mingxu and some senior elders of Taiyi Sword Garden felt that in Taiyi Sword Garden, there might be a hidden spy ghost of the 'Demon Worship Sect', so he decisively stopped the search and began to quietly carry out internal rectification and investigation, in order to slowly find out the hidden ghost in Taiyi Sword Garden.
Of course, after Gongsun Luyi finished speaking, he asked Chen Yun and others not to sue others, let alone talk nonsense, at that time, Gongsun Luyi's expression was serious and serious, Chen Yun and others did not dare to slack off, and they all nodded in agreement, but they were shocked in their hearts.
"No, there may be ghosts in this spiritual jade mine, even in the Taiyi Sword Garden, one of the five major factions in the Nansheng Domain, there may also be the storage of 'inner ghosts'. Ghosts are born from the heart, it is not false at all, people have ghost hearts, maybe it is more terrifying than the real 'ghost'!" Chen Yun muttered to himself silently in the wooden house.
On the evening of the third day after Chen Yun came to this valley, Chen Yun meditated and cultivated for about three days, and then came to Gongsun Luyi's cave mansion.
At this time, Mu Yuchen and Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu had all arrived.
Seeing Chen Yun walking into the cave mansion full of energy, Gongsun Luyi smiled and said, "Senior Brother Chen Yun, he is not a timid person, but he didn't expect to be the last to come." Before you came, I discussed a ghost hunting plan with my three junior brothers and sisters, and I told you about it, and you also gave you a plan. ”
Chen Yun entered the living room of Gongsun Luyi's cave mansion, and after sitting down briefly, he saw Gongsun Luyi say this. He replied in response: "Senior sister, although you say it, Chen Yun will listen to it!"
In fact, there are five people in the cave. Gongsun Luyi's cultivation is the highest, and it has reached the late stage of the Eight Desolations. In a sense, it is the most powerful force in the southwest Lingyu Mine to protect the mine, and the remaining three Lingyu Mines are at most the monks in the middle of the Eight Desolations.
"In order to save our time, ensure the first-time success, and also ensure that you are not injured during the operation, Senior Sister, I arranged it this way. The five of us infiltrated the jade mine before nightfall, and set up an ambush in the open and wide place where the jade was placed, trying to catch the troublesome ghost in one fell swoop. The detailed arrangement is. I am responsible for blocking the narrow passage where the spirit jade is placed, and you and Senior Sister Mu Yuchen are responsible for blocking the narrow passage where the spirit jade is placed in the open space and going deep inward, the two passages are about twenty zhang away, even if something goes wrong, the ghost still has helpers, we can also take care of each other. Gongsun Luyi's warm words flowed into Chen Yun's ears like a trickle.
"That Zhang Wen Zhang Wu. Don't you participate in this operation?" asked Chen Yun a little strangely.
Chen Yun thought to himself, although Senior Brother Zhang Wen was a little stunned by this ghost, his surprise and interest in catching up with the excitement were definitely unstoppable.
"Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu are two junior brothers. It's the Earth Spirit Root physique, and I heard them just now that the two of them have been studying the spell of 'Earth Escape'. It is currently possible to drill into the ground up to one to two feet, so this time. They decided to hide in advance in the open mountain wall and wait for the opportunity to move. Hope it can help us at the critical moment!"
When Chen Yun heard this, he was a little surprised, because he had never seen it until now, Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu's fighting methods and attacks had always been a little contemptuous, but now when he heard that the two of them could actually drill into the mountain wall one or two feet deep, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and at the same time looked at Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu.
Zhang Wen said with some pride on his face: "Senior brother, don't worry, if that ghost thing dares to run in my direction, it will definitely be in danger!"
Considering that so many people go to hunt ghosts, and there is also Gongsun Luyi, who has a very high cultivation, Zhang Wen's feelings are still relatively calm. When it was getting dark, Chen Yun and the five of them, either by flying birds or by imperial sword, soon came to the side of the mountain peak Lingyu mine.
Chen Yun and the others got down from the birds, and they also released the birds into the air and foraged for food freely, after all, it was not good to bring them into the spirit jade mine.
At this time, Nakaiwa and another monk with a slightly nervous face of the Nine Forging Fifth Layer were already standing about ten zhang outside the entrance of the cave, and when they saw the five people of Gongsun Luyi coming, their faces were happy, and they briefly told Gongsun Luyi and others about the opening and closing of the formation at the entrance of the cave, and left under the command of Gongsun Greenyi.
At the entrance of this spiritual jade mine, within a range of more than 20 zhang, there is a small 'Seven Evil Array', this array is a 'fierce array', if you enter by mistake, once you step on the wrong position, it will be activated immediately. The power of this array was enough to give the monks of the Nine Forging and Nine Layers a headache, and it was a bit of a waste to block the occasional demon beast that appeared in the mountains.
Gongsun Luyi, after briefly explaining some precautions with Chen Yun and others, took the lead in entering the formation, just a few times with a very easy show of feet, he flashed into the Lingyu mine, his clothes fluttering, and his movements were extremely elegant.
Then Chen Yun, Mu Yuchen, Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu also stepped on it one after another, and the place where Gongsun Luyi stepped on just now also flashed into the Lingyu mine like a fly.
The five of them were careful all the way, although it was not dark, but they were still worried about making some movements, and it took half a column of incense time to come to the place where the spirit jade and unpolished spirit jade ore were piled up, and then there was a small prohibition near the spirit jade pile, like a seal, once it was touched, the monk who came the next day noticed the change.
According to the division of labor made in advance, the five people separated in the open space where the spirit jade was stored, although Gongsun Luyi did not speak, but in the spiritual consciousness of the other four people, Gongsun Luyi's gentle command was heard: 'Be careful', and the other four people nodded slightly towards Gongsun Luyi, and then quietly separated.
That Zhang Zhang Wu came to the vicinity of the empty mountain wall, stopped three feet in front of the mountain wall, one of the two of them was on the left mountain wall, and the other was on the right mountain wall, both secretly running the 'Escape Technique', about three breaths, the bodies of the two gradually merged into the mountain wall, about two more breaths, and actually completely integrated into the mountain wall, Chen Yun swept it with the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but be a little surprised, thinking to himself, each spiritual root physique monk has its own spell, it is really not to be underestimated.
After Gongsun Luyi instructed the four of them, he also quietly went to the narrow hole out of the mine, and came to the narrow place, where he first scattered some unknown powdery things on the ground and in the air, which Gongsun Luyi had prepared in advance. It's called 'Canyin Powder', and it's specially used to break the stealth of ghosts. Once the ghost passes through this place, it will get it. And once it is stained, it will show its shape.
Then Gongsun Luyi soon found a gap about half a zhang deep in the nearby mountain wall, and gently dug into it with a spell, and then the skirt floated and hid in, and then used a spell to simulate the appearance of the mountain wall and rocks with a cloud in that gap. Hidden almost watertightly.
And Chen Yun and Mu Yuchen's strength is second only to Gongsun Luyi, and they have to be responsible for blocking the passage at the other end of the cave.
The two of them came to the passage of the narrow mine, and carefully searched for a while, only to find a half-zhang size at a mountain wall, barely able to accommodate the gap between the two people, the two of them were not as good as Gongsun Luyi, and they did not dare to use spells to dig the mountain wall at this time. I'm worried that I will make a noise and startle the ghost.
Na Mu Yuchen saw that there was really nowhere else, and like a tanuki, he flashed in softly. After two breaths, seeing that Chen Yun was still outside, he kept looking for Zhang. He said softly: "Senior Brother Chen Yun, when do you still have to find it?" Why are you still wandering outside, worried that your senior sister is a tiger. Will you eat it?"
Chen Yun borrowed the faint light and saw that in the crack of the mountain wall, Mu Yuchen pouted so much that he could almost hang an oil bottle, so he stiffened his head and dodged into the gap in the mountain wall.
The gap in this mountain wall is really not big, as soon as Chen Yun entered, he was almost tightly squeezed together with Mu Yuchen, and a fresh girl's breath on Mu Yuchen's body immediately penetrated into Chen Yun's nose, Chen Yun was a little embarrassed at the same time, his spirit was also inexplicably shocked.
When Mu Yuchen saw Chen Yun enter the stone wall, he reluctantly used his hand to spell the spell seal in the gap, and like Gongsun Luyi, he used a cloud to transform into the shape of a mountain stone, sealed it outside the gap, and secretly hid the two of them in the gap of the mountain wall. After the five of them hid, the entire Lingyu mine also fell into complete silence.
At this time, outside the cave, the sky also became dark as ink.
After Chen Yun and the others hid in the Lingyu mine for about two hours. Outside the mouth of the cave of the spiritual jade mine, two vague figures faintly floated in.
These two blurred figures stopped under a big tree fifty zhang away from the entrance of the cave and looked at the entrance of the cave fifty zhang away.
In the dark night, the two pairs of eyes that exuded a strange appearance were also flickering strangely.
"After this time, you can start refining, the souls of those monks, right?" a voice said coldly.
"The more frightened the bad soul, the easier it is to completely withdraw from the body, my ghost flag has already extracted and refined the souls of more than a dozen cultivators, just add a few more this time, so the power will become even greater!" another voice replied. In the depths of the Lingyu mine, Chen Yun and the rest of the people were still waiting patiently, that Gongsun Luyi, who was the highest in cultivation, was still as calm as a mirror, calm and relaxed.
Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu, who had escaped into the cave with the 'Escape Technique', had already begun to feel anxious in their hearts, because their cultivation was limited, and the time they could not escape into the soil for five or six hours at a time, and the pressure in the mountain wall was even greater, which was extremely costly for True Yuan, so they would hold on for one more hour at most, and they would no longer be able to hold it back.
But the most anxious is actually Chen Yun!
Chen Yun and Mu Yuchen were almost squeezed together close to each other, as long as Chen Yun leaned back slightly, his back almost touched, on Mu Yuchen's firm and round chest, although the feeling was mysterious and comfortable, but after Chen Yun leaned on it once, he didn't dare to try again.
He didn't know how Mu Yuchen would react if he leaned on it again, if Mu Yuchen pushed himself out of the gap, and then cooperated, screaming in the dark, Chen Yun was worried that his reputation would be ruined, of course, so far, Chen Yun's 'famous life' was still in his own imagination.
The entire cave was pitch black, and there was no sound except for the air currents shuttling back and forth, and the low sound of ghosts crying wolf-like howls.
The feeling of waiting is sometimes accompanied by an inexplicable sense of fear, because you don't know what will happen next!
In the gap, there was darkness, but Chen Yun could clearly feel that Mu Yuchen's breath was like an orchid, and it was slightly around his ears, just when Chen Yun straightened his waist and was about to be a tough guy and resist to the end, suddenly Chen Yun felt that his hand was gently held by a jade hand that was as soft as a boneless, but the palm of the jade hand was full of slightly oozing sweat.
"Senior Brother Chen Yun, last time in the 'Nine Palaces Chessboard Array', you almost lost your life. Are you- are you still mad at me?"
In the darkness, Chen Yun heard Mu Yuchen's slightly trembling and coquettish voice coming.
Chen Yun was stunned. He didn't know the meaning of Mu Yuchen's movements, because he was a little scared and nervous. Or an unintentional touch.
Just when Chen Yun was distracted, he suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound from the Lingyu mine, and the sound was extremely poignant, which made Chen Yun feel shocked when he heard it.
Before Chen Yun could react, Mu Yuchen behind her typed out the seal with one hand, and then, the cloud that sealed the gap between the mountains and rocks quickly dissipated. Chen Yun also quickly jumped out of the gap in the mountain wall, and then Na Mu Yuchen also lightly landed at the passage of the cave.
As soon as the two of them came out, before they could carefully identify the direction of the voice, they felt a silver-white figure in front of them, flashing in front of them, and then rushing towards the depths of the cave in the Lingyu mine.
Mu Yuchen, who was beside Chen Yun, reacted first, followed the silver-white figure, and quickly chased after him.
Chen Yun's figure moved. was also about to follow, but at this time, Gongsun Luyi's voice came: "Senior Brother Chen Yun, this ghost thing is pursued by me and Senior Sister Mu." You chase after the outside of the cave, there is also a slightly weaker ghost there, who is being pursued by Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu, and then flees outside the cave. ”
The voice of Gongsun Luyi had just finished speaking. A pale blue figure flashed in front of Chen Yun's eyes. Gallop towards the depths of the cave.
Chen Yun didn't hesitate, and immediately galloped towards the outside of the Lingyu Mine Cave. Half a pillar of incense was not enough, Chen Yun came to the entrance of the cave, and cautiously jumped out of the 'Little Seven Evil Array', and as soon as he came out, he heard Zhang Wu's voice coming.
"Senior Brother Chen Yun, this ghost thing was broken by Senior Sister Gongsun The method of stealth, and the strength is not strong, about nine forging and five layers, this time I don't want my brother to do it, look at our brother showing his hand, haha, just come to Yeyu Mountain, you can show your majesty, it's really worth the trip!"
Chen Yun followed Zhang Wu's voice and saw that thirty or forty zhang away on the left, Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu quickly pursued a demon-like figure with a silver-white cloak in front of him.
Chen Yun saw that although these two people were full of confidence, they were still a little uneasy, after all, ghosts always had their own attack characteristics, and in a hurry, it might cause a big mistake.
But when Chen Yun was about to chase after Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu, he suddenly felt that under the big tree fifty zhang away in front of him, there were two strange dark figures, which moved slightly and fled in the opposite direction.
Chen Yun took advantage of the faint moonlight outside the cave to find that the bodies of these two people had a faint projection on the ground, knowing that they should not be ghosts, but looking at the speed of these two people's galloping, it should be at the ninth level of the ninth forging or even above, whether to chase or not to chase for a while, so that Chen Yun hesitated a little.
If you chase the other two people, and if the ghost thing just now is controlled or released by these two people, then these two people are likely to be ghost cultivators, and this kind of monk Chen Yun heard Chen Zhiyuan say that even if the cultivation is low, it can exert a cross-level attack power, which is very difficult.
But if you don't chase it, you may miss this opportunity, you may have trouble in the future, and you have come to this Yeyu Mountain Range to cultivate well, if you can't solve the problem once and for all this time, in the next three years, you may spend time slowly catching ghosts, and meditation cultivation may become a joke and difficult to achieve.
Seeing the two strange figures gradually moving away, Chen Yun's heart moved, and he still chased after him.
But Chen Yun didn't have time to think about it carefully, that is, these two people who were likely to be ghost cultivators, their cultivation should have reached the ninth level of nine forgings, but why didn't they leave with the sword when they left, but galloped away on the ground?
What Chen Yun didn't know was that these two people released two refining evil ghosts this time, one was refined from the soul of a monk who cultivated to the fifth layer of the Nine Forging Realm, and the other was refined from the soul of a monk at the sixth layer of the Nine Forging Realm, after being extracted, refining, will exert a more powerful attack power, so they put their mind on Chen Yun's body.
The two of them were worried that when Chen Yun saw them rushing over, and saw the cultivation of the two of them at the peak of the ninth layer of the Nine Forging Realm, they retracted back into the small 'Seven Evil Arrays' and couldn't hide, after all, these two people had real bodies and couldn't easily pass through this formation with the body of a soul like a ghost, so they chose to deliberately show weakness and lure Chen Yun to chase after them in the form of escaping.
The two of them were in front and Chen Yun was behind, and the three of them chased and fled, galloping for about half an hour in the Yeyu Mountain Range, and Chen Yun was also behind the two of them, and they also pursued tightly for about 34 miles.
The two people in front of him did not fully exert their cultivation gallop, worried that exposing their cultivation too much would cause Chen Yun to be alert and escape, and Chen Yun did not fully show his strength, he was worried that if he fused the 'Yanshen True Solution' too early, when the time came to really fight, the time for support would not be enough, after all, he had never fought with a ghost cultivator, and he didn't know the depth.
Of course, these two ghost cultivators didn't know anything about Chen Yun's spell attack methods.
In the hearts of both sides, there is an inexplicable confidence in their own strength.
"The two of you didn't really escape, but they deliberately wanted to lure me here, right?" Chen Yun said aloud as he pursued about thirty zhang away from the two of them.
While saying this, Chen Yun began to secretly operate the 'Yanshen True Solution', because he didn't know if the other party would talk to him, and once he suddenly made a move, he would immediately fall into trouble.
At this time, Chen Yun and the three of them had already galloped to a wide valley, although there were trees around, but there were more open flat land overgrown with weeds.
Seeing Chen Yun speak, the two people in front of them also slowly stopped from the gallop, turned around, and looked at Chen Yun silently.
Chen Yun jumped in front of these two people several times, came to about three or four feet in front of the two of them, and also stopped. This distance was the best distance that Chen Yun deliberately chose for his own attack, but he didn't know that this kind of distance was also very suitable for the two opposite people to cast spells.
